For some states like West Virginia which was one of the first states to authorize planning, analysis and the challenges of developing an i. T. System suggested that aon
And i think it needs really deeper thinking on what it takes to do that. But if countries like egypt or emirates are on board, great. We have seen a lot of volunteers wanting to cross the border and the iranen government has stopped ian government has stopped them. What happened to yazidis really filled every sentiment. But iran would not allow them to come so easily and the kurds seem in iran are not in this picture that people are talking about. But this is a challenge. I think, again, iran will be well advised to have their own strategy to deal with them. But in terms of them crossing the board to help unless they do it illegally, theres no other way that they can. Okay. Yes. You talked about strategy of aircraft supporting someone on the ground.

Denied ker initially this, said his father was wrong. His father suggested that he was right. But peaker admitted this continued to oppose expansion of medicaid. I suspect that this opposition will continue. A little more muted now than it had been earlier for a political reasons. One, they are now close to one enrolled in the healthcare exchange.

I want to try to explore some of the different Delivery Systems that youre talking about there, whether its space heating, efficient design, housing technologies.
